The Philippines by and large still considers hip-hop a niche genre, so it’s not surprising that it took this long for people to have heard ‘Panalo’.

But the Philippines-born, Las Vegas-based rapper took Filipino social mass-media by storm last week after he performed the track dal vivo on the Wish USA Bus Durante a video that has racked up nearly 30million views since.

Ez Mil got tagged as a DDS because toxic positivity and dismissing criticism have become part of the current administration’s playbook since they were elected into power. It’s quanto into greater relief since the pandemic began: last March, after a photo of exhausted Philippine frontliners went viral, Duterte said medical workers “could be helping, but all you do is complain”, while in June 2020 the Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr.

Why have fans embraced ‘Panalo’? For one, it’s in qualità di at a bleak time when Filipinos need a win, and the song – whose title translates to both “victory” and “winner” – provides just that.

Ez Mil first released Panalo Durante July of 2020, as a single from his album Act 1. Although at first the song didn’t receive much attention, social media took notice when he performed the song on the Wish USA Bus. Since, the video have over 30 million views.

Durante a reaction video that his manager uploaded after the Wish USA Bus performance went viral, Ez asked, “Am I gonna close it out with absolute truth, or am I gonna make people talk about it? That’s me putting an exaggerated term in a ploy to drive traffic and talk.”

As a musician, Ez Mil isn’t obligated to give his listeners history lessons. But nonchalantly taking artistic liberties with historical fact just to get attention is a terrible look for a young, up-and-coming rapper.

An example of check here toxic positivity is that family member or friend who doesn’t really listen to you when you’re upset, because you should just “be happy” or “have a positive outlook risposta negativa matter what”.

From the pandemic keeping us all apart to the myriad other issues that our country is facing, there’s a lot of warranted and justified anger brewing among Filipinos.
